is an absolute hype right now. Or is it?
what this trend is about and all important information here
Intermittent fasting (or intermittent fasting) basically means eating for a certain amount of time and then fasting for a certain amount of time. It has its roots in an ancient way of life where periods of eating were followed by days when no food was available.
There are different types of intermittent fasting, such as 5:2 fasting. Here you eat normally on 5 days and on the other 2 days your daily calorie intake is reduced to 500 calories (women) or 600 calories (men).
Then there is the very popular 16:8 intermittent fasting. Here a A break of 16 hours is observed during which no food is eaten. Only water and unsweetened tea are drunk."
The 16/8 (16 hours fasting, 8 hours eating) is the easiest way to get started with surprising results and is very easy to implement long-term and is equivalent in effect to the 2-day fast in the studies.
The 16:8 fast is our favorite because anyone can do it. Not eating anything for 16 hours - you can do this with a relatively early dinner and a not too early breakfast, for example.
If you don’t eat breakfast regularly or don’t like it, 16:8 fasting is probably the easiest method.
However, when exactly the eating window begins and when the fasting ends can vary. Due to possible effects on the internal clock (biorhythm), it is recommended that the eating window always falls within a relatively similar period of time.
Those who fast are not only doing something good for their figure, but also for their health, without having to worry about nutrition and calorie tables. Fasting periods give the body the opportunity to purify itself , break down toxins and fat reserves, and regenerate physically and mentally.
Overall, intermittent fasting is suitable for almost anyone who wants to work on their body weight and/or health.
